: What gets me is if this is true. And Evel was
: this way . I wonder why it wasnt brought up
: in the book that he may have been suffering
: from a Bipolar condition. In other words WHY
: was he an ASS. one minute and so nice the
: next ? I understood he talked with the
: family [Linda Kelly Rob.....] but they
: turned him down due to contractual or
: pending contractual situations . They could
: have shot down what wasnt true. At any rate
: I dont think they or anyone else's family is
: owed any money from a book about there
: public figure rel. They can at any time
: write their own book. I have to say what
: Evel did to Saltman was uncalled for based
: on what he wrote about his Mom. Which was
: nothing bad . And as for the SOB term it can
: either be bad "Your moms a b###h or it
: can be good "Hey you ol som b###h how u
: been" BUT I WILL MAKE THIS CLEAR HOW
: EVEL HANDLED HIMSELF AFTER WAS WHAT KEPT ME
: A FAN ! He didnt hid behind any BS. But
: when My mom told me what she heard on the
: news I told her no way He wouldnt do that
: not Evel . Then I was watching SNL that sat
: and they had a shot of a baseball bat with
: Evel's sig on it. And I knew it was true.And
: I was disapointed in my hero.

: The think the book is complete trash..The
: guy
: that wrote it pretty said everything Evel
: did or stood for was shit. So much lacking
: with most it, if not all the focus on the
: bad. He only talked to people who ether
: hated Evel or people Evel hated, or people
: that were jealous of Evel. Bob Arum is a
: known scumbag and thats being nice..The
: entire book is a joke and not worth the
: paper its printed on. I feel bad for the
: trees that had to die for the printing of
: this piece of trash. Plus i don't believe
: half the stories..Evel put a gun to GH's
: head and cocked it and told him to read..And
: then he still made the movie..right all
: BS..However i did like the picture of Evel
: on the harley..Never seen that one
: before..even if the moron got where the
: picture was from wrong..book burning time..

: Ok lets hear what you guy's think of Leigh's
: book.
: Did you think it was too harsh ? Did you
: think it was the real story ?
: How about not saying hardly anything about
: Viva Knievel ?
: Do you feel differently towards Evel now ?
: I:E The 29 day coma being a lie .....
: Does anyone think Leigh is still reading our
: site ?
: I have not fully absorbed the whole book
: yet. But I 'll say it was prob a steel pipe
: not Lead .
: And both Hood and Knievel was wrong on
: Wembley
: He simply lost speed as he bounched up the
: ramp. 1.5-2 mph loss is all it takes. Could
: the suspension have been harder on the
: wheelie bike ? Domokos's was . He did'nt
: bounce in Oh! Just some thoughts in my
: head. But I say the most important ,
: greatest thing Evel did was come to know
: Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Cause
: in the end thats all that matters to us all.
